Chapter 4
Analysis of Linear Arrays
“Array antennas are similar to cascaded electronic amplifiers in increasing gain.”
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
This chapter discusses
- The analysis of the arrays
- The directional behaviour of dipoles and monopoles
- The pattern characteristics of uniform and linear arrays
- Pattern calculations and effects of the earth
- Impedance matching techniques
- Transmission loss between transmission and receiver
- Antenna signal to noise ratio
- Objective questions and solved problems useful for class tests, final examinations and also for competitive examinations
- Exercise problems to develop self problem solving skills
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The gain of a single antenna element is not sufficient for most applications. Under these circumstances, ...
